RE: [ubl-dev] Creating a new document....

["Steven Herod" <sherod@tedis.com.au>]

Well, I think I've created a new CAC (ABIE??) with introducing a JobSheet
and JobSheetLineItem types, but as I said, I'm a complete newbie and am
fumbling in the dark a bit (esp with terminology and 'the rules' of naming)

I found the contact ABIE isn't quite 'big' enough, with me having to put the
mobile, pager and home phone numbers into the OtherCommunication ASBIE

Also, I found the Item ABIE restrictive too.

If I have a model of mobile phone, I need the Model number, Serial Number,
IMEI recorded

My logic was to do:

Serial Number mapped to ManufacturersItemIdentification
Model number to me mapped to CatalogueItemIdentification
IMEI mapped to AdditionalItemIdentification

I don't feel right about putting the model number in
CatalogueItemIdentification, but I didn't know what else do without creating
my own 'JobsheetItemType'

I'm expecting (and hoping a little) to have someone step out of the shadows
and say 'no no no, you've got it all wrong!'

That's excellent. Were you able to do all necessary customization of the
common ABIEs, etc without resorting to new CAC or CBC Schemas then?
That would be very encouraging. I'd like to do the same with 'UBL Lite'
but hoping to get away with keeping the same namespaces in the invoice and
order
documents (if that's the way it goes) (for reasons folk will be tired of
hearing)

Thanks for sharing it with us.
